Over the weekend the Wits university council decided that classes should resume, saying it is crucial to complete the academic year.

EWN reporter Clement Manyathela says there's been confrontation between protesting students and the private security. He says the students are demanding access to the Great Hall which they've been banned from entering.

According to Manyathela, protesting students started pelting stones at the private security saying they should move refrain from blocking the entrance to the Great Hall.

The students are saying they don't want to be limited in terms of where to go or where to meet ... they want to enter the Great Hall so that they can have a meeting.
